<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Six-time All-Star Tracy McGrady has assumed a new role with the Houston Rockets, and the results have been outstanding. McGrady and the Rockets look to win their fourth straight game when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday at the Toyota Center. Houston (9-4) has won eight of its last 10 games, and defeated Memphis 85-76 on Saturday behind another stellar game from McGrady, who finished with 19 points and tied his career high with 13 assists. He's averaging 19 points this season -- six below his career points per game -- but is also averaging 6.7 assists, more than two per game above his 4.4 career mark. "It's fun to see your teammates want the ball on the other side," McGrady said. "I take a lot of pride and passion in doing that. I'm trying to make these guys better." Yao Ming has benefited most of all from McGrady's passes. The center scored 28 points against the Grizzlies, and is averaging 26.4 points per game -- four more than last season. The Rockets improved to 5-1 at the Toyota Center with Saturday's victory, after being tied with New York, Portland and Toronto for the worst home record last season at 15-26. </div> Yahoo! Preview Sorry for not properly doing a preview guys, I have a bunch of tests this week.
HAHA Bill Worrell just said the game was on FSN Houston while being on channel 2 (51). The Wolves just came off a loss last night to Dallas. It was close, but they shot poorly from the 3 and FT line. Mike James v Rafer Alston (and J-Ho) should be interesting. I hope we win this one and go 10-4 By the way, we have really fallen off lately with the previews (except for Mag and blueracer, and anyone else I forgot to mention.) I guess finals/midterms is every Rockets fan's kryptonite. EDIT: What the hell is wrong with T-Mac now? He was holding his hip or stomach as he left the court. He can't make ups some excuse everytime he has an off night. I am really beginning to think he is as weak mentally as everyone makes him ot to be. He gets down on himself too easily. KG is wreckin'
Yeah baby! We won. Great 3's by Alston and Battier. Alston stepped up in the 4th and good job on closing this game out, but again we let them come back when we had a big lead, but I am glad we finished it good.
Yahoo Sports said T-mac was kneed or kicked in his left hip anyone know if the injury is long term or not? gasp.
yeah Mike James accidentally kicked tmac in the abdomen...I think he'll be allright....BUT MAN!!!...The red rowdies gave Mike James and KG HELL 2nite......KG was standing underneath the basket one play and I shouted "KG's pathetic....you'll never win a title....that's why you're on the trading block!!!!"....after that brief exchange KG proceded to look up and give me a cold stare....I then proceeded to say "yeah I'm talkin to you homeboy!!!!"....CLASSIC!!!!......then when the t wolves were warming up during intermission me and a couple fellow rowdies went down to taunt Mike James......we got his attention a couple of times, and before I left I screamed "hey Mike with all that money you're gettin payed you should have more than 2 points at the half!!!!".....another CLASSIC moment!!!....I'm sorry but I'm still so hype...I gotta go type a paper to turn in tomorrow....GO ROCKETS!!!!!
^^^anyone who steps into the hell hole known as the toyota center wearing the opposite colors deserves it....it's our job.

You'd better not do something like this to Ron Artest or ... somebody gonna get hurt.
<div class="quote_poster">THE DREAM Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Foye is going to be a great player.....Mike James won't be starting for long.</div> Not long at all, definitely. He was on bench during clutch time for Wolves while Foye was making plays on the court.
Good win by the rockets Yao Continues his thing. Shane was on fire. Get Howard off the court and Novak on. Tracy's gotta have a big game tommorow its the suns.
<div class="quote_poster">Eduardo Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Dude, you seriously did that? Mike James, no prob. But KG? He doesn't deserve that.</div> At first I thought the same thing and agreed with your post. <div class="quote_poster">THE DREAM Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">^^^anyone who steps into the hell hole known as the toyota center wearing the opposite colors deserves it....it's our job.</div> Then I read Dreams post and agree with it. Maybe thats part of the reason the Rockets are 6-1 at home (the Spurs are use to being in a very loud environment.) We are 4-3 on the road. <div class="quote_poster">tinyballer Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Good win by the rockets Yao Continues his thing. Shane was on fire.

It's funny how our leads tend to slip away everytime Hayes exits the game and Howard enters. GO ROCKETS! PHOENIX IS GOING DOWN!
THE DREAM, you're a brave joker dude.;D LOL ;D I'm a big fan on McGrady, but they won't beat the Suns.
C.Hayes played well, matched rebounds with KG. He doesn't have a jump shot but the way he moves to the basket keeps the D honest or he gets a lay up. Yao is a monster, and L.Head is shooting lights out. Late in the game the Shane effect became tangible and in the forefront for all to see his value. TMac's shooting is still bad, but his playmaking is good. He needs a shooting doctor. Man Rockets lucked out not getting M.James. Let him stay in cold ass Minny Good job to anybody giving him hell at the game. Phoenix is a test for every team. It takes a quarter to get use to their speed, and you have to hope your'e not down 30 by then.
We need Tmac to beat Phoenix. If we dont get tmac to play, at least Bonzi might. If we do beat them without tmac, then im speechless.
